Imagineering Hints That Tom Morrow 2.0 Is Coming Back — Are We Getting an ‘Imaginer That!’ Revival?
In what can only be described as one of the most surprising comebacks in Disney history, Walt Disney Imagineering has released a short video hinting that Tom Morrow 2.0 may soon return in some capacity.
For those who may not remember, Tom Morrow 2.0 was introduced in 2000 as the host of Innoventions at EPCOT.

The small Audio-Animatronic robot became the pavilion’s mascot and welcomed guests to the Road to Tomorrow.
In addition to his role at Walt Disney World, Tom Morrow 2.0 also served as the host of Imagineer That! on Disney Channel.
Tom Morrow 2.0 Disappeared in 2007
Following the 2007 refurbishment of Innoventions, Tom Morrow 2.0 was removed from the pavilion. Subsequently, he made a brief cameo in Stitch’s Supersonic Celebration, where he was shown being sold by the Robo-Mart. He later appeared as part of the Tomorrowland News Network as the broadcast’s galactic weather reporter, and popped up inside the Odyssey Building alongside other relics of EPCOT’s past.

Despite these brief appearances, Tom Morrow 2.0 has largely been relegated to the Disney Archives. So, what does his comeback mean?
An ‘Imagineer That!’ Revival?

As we have seen over the last several years, Imagineering has begun to share more and more content on YouTube. Tom Morrow 2.0 and the Imagineer That! IP would be a natural fit to return.
Hopefully, we will learn more soon!
